Really glad to have found you this morning! Currently doing peas and feel like I have found a sister to walk me through it! Love your style of teaching 😀❤️
I know this was from 2 years ago but am just starting to get into canning. This is the BEST video that I have watched by far. Thank you so much for the easy tutorial on the peas. Anxious to can some.
Thank u I am doing my first canning today, of zipper peas. You have answered a lot of my questions. And yes I had some reservations but do feel better now.
You can buy a weight for your canner with the gauge. It will be more accurate over time. I used to check canner gauges and was amazed how many were not accurate. One year I checked all the new ones at the hardware store and most of those were also off. Sure wish some of those peas were at my house. LOL I was raised in Wyoming and have much more experience with beans--both green and dry. But I'm finding I really like these peas here in TX.
Thank you for your comment. I've seen people use a weight on their pressure guage canner that jiggled because their guage wasn't working. That's interesting, again thank you :) P.S. I LOVE LOVE zipper peas!! lol
Down On The Homestead , thank you for replying! My pease turned out great, and the one jar I’ve opened and already eaten were great. Tasted just like when I was younger, when my mother or grandmother cooked them. I will say I thought I’d never get those things shelled, whew! The Mari opened was one that had lost some water and the pease at the top were darker than the rest. They were good, even though darker.
@@karenrogers2826 Awesome!!! It's so nice to just open a jar and, Boom, fresh field peas :D I DO add a little bacon grease to mine when I heat it up. Soooo good!!!
I always was told 90 minutes for quarts and 75 minutes for pint jars , and also never fill your beans to the top just 1 cup for quarts and 1/2 cup for pint jars, the reason is to allow for expansion.
I loved this. Never canned and never saw any videos. Which type of pressure canner do you like in the two you used and information of how to purchase all your little instruments you used. Do you see any canned or raw peas to be canned? Do you can broccoli or that type of vegetables or is it just freezer bagged. How long will this food be good for? I found this so interesting and you did a beautiful job of explaining everything.
Awesome job! Thanks for inviting us into your lovely kitchen! I’ve always done a hot pack but this looks so much simpler! After they cool, do you remove the rings and wash & dry your jars? That was always my favorite part! ❤️
@@DownOnTheHomesteadafter just losing 9 quarts of purple hull peas from our freezer after a hurricane (we were on vacation when it came through and couldn’t save our freezer), I started looking into canning instead and found this video. Very helpful, thank you. Please confirm that when you are completely finished with your canning, you take the rings off and just leave the lids. Is that what you are saying? And, is that necessary or is it to be able to use the rings for more canning?
@danadc6081 Correct, after letting the jars sit for 24 hrs, I take off the rings/bands and gently wash the jars. I DO store them without the rings. It is recommended to do that, so if there is a false seal, it'll pop off, and you will surely know.
Is there any way I can send you direct messages?? I have some questions about canning and I’ve never done it or seen anyone do it but I’m trying to learn to put food up.
I just canned some and it appears some of my liquid boiled out during the processing and the liquid is not covering all the peas so should I pop the lids, add more liquid and reprocess, I raw packed fresh peas and butter beans!
I can these peas (zippers, white acres) fresh and not dry. I haven't had any problems with foaming. I have watched videos on canning purple hulls specifically and they do them the same way that I do.

Oh goodness, you just made my day ❤️

OMGosh!!! You just made my day!!! You can do this, I promise!! I just canned some more the other day, zippers are my favorite to can, so easy!!
Canning purple hull peas
Just what I needed to see today. I have 8.75 bushels to can!
Thank u I am doing my first canning today, of zipper peas. You have answered a lot of my questions. And yes I had some reservations but do feel better now.
Glad I could help!

Watching in 2022, and my garden has a TON of white acre peas ready to pick. Glad I found your video, lol. I do believe I planted TOO many.
You can never plant too many white acres or zippers ;)
@@DownOnTheHomestead True. Planning on planting another crop of them.I believe I can get another crop in here in North Central Floirda.
@@voodookitchenmama Yep, I just planted another 3 double rows of zipper peas. I'm in zone 9a (Florida)
I’m in awe of all those gorgeous peas! I’ve got to follow your directions come Monday after I pick the peas! Wish me luck please.
That's awesome!! Such a great feeling to pick your own vegetables. Let me know how they turned out :)

Great information... just in time!!!
Glad it was helpful!

Those times would be for "dry" peas/beans. These are green. Dry will expand a LOT, green ones, not so much.
@@DownOnTheHomestead thank you for the information.
@@patsybarker-jz2xe you are welcome 😊
Great video! 😇
Thank you! 😁

Where were the bags of peas before washing? Fridge? Room temp? If fridge, how long in there before canning?
Mine were in the fridge for a few days, to build up as much as I could, to can at one time. After rinsing, I would say they were room temp

I DO wash my jars and leave the rings off. And thank you

growing some this yr mostly eating fresh because we r in big city and small yard can u do what u add to them for a meal
You can add these canned peas to most anything but I like them straight out of the jar!
Is there any way I can send you direct messages?? I have some questions about canning and I’ve never done it or seen anyone do it but I’m trying to learn to put food up.
Peas and rice great or cornbread .
Anything is good with cornbread ;)
If we like thicker broth can I add sure jel??
I don't think I would add sure-jel. When you open a jar to eat, you can always add a thickener at that time
I just canned some and it appears some of my liquid boiled out during the processing and the liquid is not covering all the peas so should I pop the lids, add more liquid and reprocess, I raw packed fresh peas and butter beans!
No, they are all sealed, leave them. Next time don't add peas to the top. Maybe only 1/2 full or 3/4 if quarts, then your liquid to 1 inch headspace.
No, as long as it's over the half way mark.
What happens with all the foaming on purple hulls?
I can these peas (zippers, white acres) fresh and not dry. I haven't had any problems with foaming. I have watched videos on canning purple hulls specifically and they do them the same way that I do.
@@DownOnTheHomestead thanks
@@garyhill1197 you are very welcome :)
Do you blanch the peas first?
I do not.
I thought the quarts were 50 minutes????
I go by the National Center for Home Food Preservation and it says 40 minutes.
